Does upgrading to V12 overwrite my list boxes or function keys?
I can't find them anymore, they've disappeared!
"Have you done a Rebuild of All Files since the upgrade was done?
NO
---
"After you do an upgrade the first thing that needs to be done is a
Rebuild of all your files. This will update TeleMagic where all your
files are. Once you Rebuild you will be able to see your function keys.
YES
----
"Let's check your Master controls, User Directories. I want to make sure
TeleMagic is looking at the right directory so it can find your files.
I'll bet we're just not looking in the right place for them.
From the Main Menu, touch:
`O' Other Options
`M' Master Controls
`U' User Directories
"Now tell me what is the path listed for the "List Boxes Directory".
[write down the path they give you]
"Let's look and see if the files containing the function keys are in the
correct place. Touch F3 to bring up the DOS Window and type in:
`Dir [LIST BOXES DIRECTORY path]\tmlstbox.*'.
Are the files there?
NO
--
That is what the problem is, the files are not where TeleMagic
thinks they are. Now all we have to do is find out where the
actually are.
[Walk through the following steps with the customer:]
1. Do a directory listing on ALL of their TeleMagic
directories. Look for ALL occurrences of the TmLSTBOX.*
files. When the files are found write down the path and
the size of the files.
2. The largest files are most likely the correct ones for
them. Have them update their Master Controls\User
Directories\List Box entry with the correct paths. (In
V12, the Function Keys and List Boxes are in the
TmLSTBOX.* files. TmHELP.* is just for the help files)
3. After the User Directories screen is updated, verify
that their function keys are back. If not continue with
`YES' below.
4. Have them run the install program again and do a
rebuild after it is completed.
YES
---
"Are there any other occurrences of the TmLSTBOX.* files other
than the ones in the path you have indicated in your User
Directories\List Box entry?"
[Do a Dir TmLSTBOX.* on any directory that might contain
another copy of these files.]
YES
---
[If more are located, update the List Box entry in their
User Directories and verify that their function keys are
back. Have them run the Install Program again and then do
a rebuild.]
NO
--
"Was this a Professional Version running without security
before the upgrade?
YES
---
"Your function keys are still there, but not for the
User ID you are logged in as. To recover your
function keys:
1. From the Main Menu, Touch `O', `F'
2. When you are asked for a User ID, use the
spacebar to blank out the field and touch
<ENTER>.
3. Now, for each key you want to save:
a. Highlight and touch <ENTER>
b. At the beginning of the line touch ALT-
B
c. Go to the end of the line and touch
ALT-B again.
d.Touch ALT-B a third time and select `E'
for Export and touch <ENTER>.
e. When asked for a file name give it a
descriptive name. For example, call
the SHIFT-F1 key SHIFTF1.
4. After you have exported all the function
keys that you want to keep, escape out of
the function key screen for this user. Log
back in with the User ID that you want to
have the function keys.
5. Highlight each function key and touch
<ENTER> to go into the edit mode. While in
edit mode:
a. Touch ALT-I to import
b. Enter the name of the function key you
want to import and touch <ENTER>.
c. Touch F10 to save.
6. Do this for each Function Key.
Note: After updating one user, you can use the Install
program to add other users using the updated users
as the source. This will bring all of the Master
Control settings and function keys over.
